Pistons for my 1300cc Fiat X1.9 SOHC
Posted: October 3rd, 2015, 9:42 pm
Hi Guy and All
With the restored body of my X1/9 soon to be returned to me its time to think about rebuilding the engine.
I've been recommended a set of 87mm pistons, however these are '8.9:1 compression' and I know that the standard compression is 9.2:1.
I understand the basics of compression, but I'm unsure if these new pistons would be an improvement or a back wards step.
I'd appreciate any advice on this matter.
Regards
Craig.
